In the air tonight

A humorous tribute to Phil Collins, on his retirement.

Phil Collins and I had a bet who'd be first to retire
Against all odds, he lasted one more night.
But our two hearts still beat in just one time,
and Phil text to say that he'd felt something in the air tonight,
and that I should get back out there for another day in paradise.
Despite our separate lives, Phil's an easy lover and sees both sides of the story.
Phil's music and my running share a groovy kind of love,
but you can't hurry love, you'll just have to wait,
it never came came easy, it's a game of give and take.

Author's Note

Challenge to write about Phil Collins' retirement, fitting in as many as possible of his song titles. Thanks for the tunes Phil, may your retirement be contented. Maybe old performers can't retire, forever compelled to strut their stuff, only pausing in death, resuming thereafter in spirit to eternity?

I found myself scratching my head at this, I took it at "face value' until I read the author's note, and it became clear what you were about. good job!

Not sure if it's what you intended, but this tickled the hell out of me! Such a breath of fresh air. Not often on here that someone makes me smile. I need to reflect on this idea. I think I have been inspired!

For what it's worth. I got a kick out of this. Though not much a fan of him personally I'm familiar with all the song titles. (I dig Peter Gabrielle though) Challenge Completed as far as I'm concerned.
